Title: 2D and 3D Space

Project: Students will play a flashcard game to understand 2D and 3D shapes.

Students will then create 2D and 3D shapes from clay.

Goals:

-Students will develop an understanding of space in art and in the real world

Terms:

1. Space

2. Two dimensional

3. Three dimensional

4. circle

5. sphere

6. triangle

7. pyramid

8. square

9. cube

Materials:

-rolling pins

-cutting tools (plastic knives)

-clay

-bucket

-cards of 2 and 3-D shaped

-signs that say "2-D" and "3-D" to put on the floor

-brown butcher paper

Set Up:

-cover tables with brown butcher paper

-put out journals

-put 2D and 3D signs on the floor, with a line of tape in between

Timeline:

-write in journal

-collect journal

-review elements from past lessons (to refresh memory)

-Stephanie will discuss "space" (2D and 3D)

-Cinnamon will explain flash card game

-Matt will hand every student a flashcard with either a 2D or 3D shape

-Students will individually read aloud the info on their card, say what shape they see in it, and put it on either the 2D side or 3D side

-students will then return to their desk where they will be given a piece of clay

-they will flatten half of it and cut out a 2D circle, triangle and square

-they will use the other half to create a 3D sphere, pyramid and cube

-clean up

-final discussion

-wash hands

-snack

Texture, Texture EVERYWHERE!

*This semester, we will focus on one Visual Element of Art per week

Title: Texture, Texture Everywhere!

Project: Students will learn about texture by filling in a line drawing with rubbings of textures around the playground, including the roughness of the asphalt, the wavy blades of grass, the smooth plastic of the playground, etc.

Goal:

-Continued learning of the Elements of Art

-Knowledge of the unlimited amount of textures in your own backyard!

-Use of imaginations!

Materials:

-journals

-crayons

-stack of photocopied scene

-mock up

Set Up:

-Set up tables in large rectangle

-Put out journals

-Pair journals with coloring supplies

-Hold onto photocopies for texture rubbings until journals are away.

Timeline:

-Students are to sit down

-Write in journal

-Introduction of student teachers

-Ask each student to share finished journal entry

-Collection of journals after with explanation that the teachers will write back for next week

Texture Talk:

-Give instruction of the day’s project by passing out the prepared copies.

-Show mock up, explaining that the image is filled with rubbings of the textures around the playground.

-Note that it is the texture within the image that defines the separate spaces, i.e.: we know this is the building because it matches the same rough texture across the page.

-Lead the class outside and let them loose!

-Tell them to try every surface! See what happens when you hold the paper to the brick and make a rubbing, and compare it to how a rubbing of the grass looks.

-When finished, return to classroom.

-Present!

-Clean up.
